The football landscape in Bolgatanga is set for a dramatic showdown as Bolgatanga-based Berekum City prepares to clash with the historically prominent Bolgatanga All Stars Sc in a pivotal middle league match.
The highly anticipated game will take place on April 13th, 2025, at the Kurt ES Okraku Technical Center in Winkogo, with the prize being a coveted promotion to the Division One league.
While Bolgatanga All Stars Sc boast a rich history and command a strong local following, Berekum City, despite operating from the Upper East Regional capital for strategic reasons, is approaching the match with unwavering confidence, guided by their tactically astute coach, Francis Bawomya, widely known as “Makia.”
Coach Makia, a master of both planning and motivation, has instilled a deep sense of belief within his squad. He and his technical team have meticulously analyzed Bolgatanga All Stars Sc, pinpointing areas of vulnerability and developing a game plan to exploit them. Recognizing the challenges faced by All Stars, who have seen their once-formidable team weakened and replaced by younger talent, Makia has concentrated on maximizing Berekum City’s strengths: a resolute defense, a dynamic midfield, and a sharp attacking force.
“We hold Bolgatanga All Stars in high regard,” stated Coach Makia, “but we are not intimidated by them. We have trained rigorously and are fully prepared to secure the win.” His words have resonated with the growing Berekum City fanbase, who have embraced the team as their own.
The upcoming match presents a compelling narrative: a team based in Bolgatanga challenging the very fabric of Bolgatanga football. This unique situation underscores the unpredictable nature of the sport and the unshakeable faith of Coach Francis Bawomya (Makia) and his Berekum City team.
